Charles C. "Charlie" Dulaney and Zora Hood were both Itawamba natives and lifelong residents of the county. Charlie, the son of Joseph "Joe" Benjamin Dulaney and Martha Ann Johnson, was a family historian who passed his love of history down to his children. Zora was the daughter of Rev. Joshua Hood and Elizabeth "Betty" Swindle.
This photograph was provided by Charlie and Zora's daughter-in-law, Mary Johnson Dulaney who was married to Clastel Dulaney. Her notes indicate that the photograph was made in front of the "old Bud Steele house" in Itawamba County.
Identified in the photograph are: Zora Hood Dulaney, standing left rear, holding Clothel Dulaney. The other lady is identified as "Vine" Steele holding "Baby" Steele. The children standing in front are Exie (assumed to be a Steele), Vastle Dulaney, Clastel Dulaney and Vecil Dulaney. Based on Clothel's birth date, it would appear that this picture was made about 1922 or 1923.
I need some help here if anyone knows anything about the Bud Steele family and who Vine/Viney Steele and Exie were.

Congratulations on having the most interesting information about Itawamba County and the people who lived (live) there. I stumbled upon this and will certainly make it a practice to check it out periodically.
